dark emotional tense
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

3.0

I am not quite sure what I just finished reading...

This book definitely messed with my head and did NOT end the way I though it would. I really don't want to give spoilers, but be prepared for twists you may nit suspect and to be left without closure.

If you're like me too NEED closure or another book to follow after the one with the incomplete ending ends, then this may not be the book for you. The beginning was mediocre and somewhat boring. You pretty much hate both main characters from the get go and feel like their life is just stinking miserable. You'll indeed how miserable and neither one will let you forget it.... ever.

If you enjoy narcissistic characters with no depth then this book is for you. If not, then choose something else... quick.

The reason I'm giving 3 stars is mainly because the twists did keep me engaged... after the first half to three quarters was over.
